This morning it was very rainy and I was late to work. I did a small thing different than I might have in the past. I called in to let them know I would be late. This may not seem like a big deal but I have been irresponsible all my life and I like to note when that changes.

Today I found out that Dave's son Ceasar was killed in an automobile accident. I talked to Rudy about it on the way home and he said Dave and Norma were headed home so I went by to see them and offer some condolences. I felt awkward and never know what to say in these situations but I was grateful that God gives me such great friends today and that he carries me through my doubts so that I can be a good friend too. I feel terrible for them and I am only reassured by God's word and by the times I spoke to Ceasar about his faith.

Tonight I got to go to my first Bible study ever. It was very small and no one there was a scholar but everyone has a lot of faith. I look forward to the next five weeks of study. We read a Psalm and the Gospel.

I was inspired to "...take refuge in the Lord".
